Josh Krajcik is one inspirational Chiver (28 Photos)

Josh said it was a thrill to meet the celebrities but he thinks the real heroes on The X Factor are the crew members on the show. In true Chive fashion, Josh dawned Bill F*cking Murray and got his photo taken with all the crew on the show, what a class act. Presenting: The Crew

Just a few short weeks ago, Josh Krajcik was slinging burritos in Columbus, Ohio. Most people who visited the burrito joint where Josh worked would never guess that Josh has an amazing vocal gift. The 30 year-old Midwesterner had always dreamed of sharing his soulful voice with the world. To that end, his awesome mother drove him across the country to audition for The X-Factor. As you'll see in the video below, Josh crushed the audition. Then last week, Josh was named to the Final 11 contestants competing for the life-changing $5 Million dollar prize.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Josh contacted me. He simply wanted to let me know that theCHIVE has helped keep him calm through all the insanity. I posted the photo below in the DAR on Monday and Josh also wanted me to personally thank the Chivers for all their support in the comments, as well as the LOL's.

Josh is the ultimate underdog and he's also one of the most genuine people I've met. And tonight he's going to take the stage on The X-Factor to attempt to bring himself one step closer to his dream. I know a lot of Chivers are fans of The X-Factor, and many of us prefer to watch Top Gear on BBC America (b/c it's awesome). But tonight one of our own is going out to perform and the Chivers can help affect the outcome.

The X Factor starts tonight at 8/7c on Fox. You can vote Toll-free and Verizon Text message. You can even vote online at TheXFactorUSA.

Let's show our support Josh, he's an inspiration and the world is a better place with him entertaining us in it. Makes me proud to be a Chiver. Good luck tonight, Josh!

What's Hot

Class act is right. I used to work on a show very much like this one (hint) and most talent would never bother to learn a single crew member name much less ask THEM for a photo. Josh really is the everyman and I wish him the best of luck

This show is terrible and Josh better not get his hopes up. He is nowhere talented enough to win.

That guy...

what do you know? you're just a blue waffle infested replica of an Arby's roast beef sandwich

medtxpack

im glad i already ate lunch.

A BiPolar Guy

For sure because Simon tells EVERY candidate that they floored him, that he never expected to be surprised again but that Josh did it. And the other judges tell everyone to quit their day jobs after hearing them sing once. It really doesn't matter if he wins or not, he could lose as there are other factors there than and how good he is – but he's made. He has a music career and he'll outdo whoever does win, if iit isn't him.

Fry

Not sure if Chiver….or X Factor marketing scheme

DrROBOTO

he's made? lol then wheres any of the american idol singers? fucking nowhere.guess why? cuz simply being able to sing does NOT mean you can make good MUSIC!! All these shows are fucking stupid.I go to local bars and hear people karaoke all the time very well, this does not make them musicians. Play an instrument, write your own music be creative and then your a musician, but hey good luck, ride the train of fame as long as you can.Use it while you have it to make money somehow, but dont expect a music career.

derbymon

I'm in the Biz.
Truth.

to prove the point that he is more than a voice… here ya go…
now then with THAT being said… quit trying to piss in the mans cherios.

ps. if you want more proof you can check out the "related videos" for more of his stuff…

mtk

He has got class and an identity not like all those generic singers out there. Best of luck to him.

well played sir!

HotDogFingers

Awesome post, Chive. Josh is from my tiny hometown of Wooster, Ohio (before Josh, known mostly for Amish people, Coccia House pizza, and meth.) It's so nice to see a sweet, humble, hometown boy make it to the top. Good luck and Chive on, Josh!

NiteRunner

Mmmm. Coccia House pizza!

It is great to see a local get this kind of pub.

Awesome, good luck!

Simon Cowell

Used to watch him sing at the bars in Columbus, everybody always stopped in their tracks. Very nice guy too. Way to rep the midwest, Josh!

Robert

I saw him too! He truly has an amazing talent. Rooting for you all the way, Josh!

jroc

duche

Tuff Guy

Agreed.

Boo you whore.

Spelling/name-calling fail, but most importantly, personal fail. If you think this man is a 'douche' you have some serious issues.

http://thechive.com Shevyridenhigh

Jroc and Tuff Guy probably sling burritos for a living

Jordan

Lauren G hating on you; Ultimate diss.

CNG

LG I want to make you pregnant.

the truth

speaking of grammatical errors, "fail" is a verb. not a noun or an adjective.

joe

I don't understand why you feel the need to hate? Why not just be happy for a regular guy that managed to get a break? Shows how pitiful a life you must lead if you have to call a guy names just to make yourself feel better.

The Joker

Because it's fun?

oprah

troll

Dave

Dude, stop hating since you don't posses even 1 millionth of a percentage of this mans talent.

Winston

That goddam video keeps making me cry in my cubicle. I'm trying to be a man over here.

is this guy some sort of giant, or is everyone working in hollywood tiny?

ROK247

the man has a giants hands, thats for sure. you know what they say about a guy with big hands: hard to find gloves that fit.

Takingbackcider

He should have crushed Sandler's head when he had the chance!

Probably still too late to not make Jack & Jill

If Josh wore BMF or Keep Calm on the show, the internet would explode

Jason

I'd be getting pics with her too!

Grodon

Bill Mucking Furray?
I concur

Bob

Barry McKokkinner

Michael G

Go Josh!

What is it wrong with the audience for f*** sake ?? Can't you let the man sing his song ?? Okay for the pop the first time you become aware of his talent, but then every single freakin' time his going high on notes ?? Really ?? God damn it

Jayavc

He has a great voice..(Thank you Mr. Obvious)…maybe you could have him perform at the next meet up…

chicago

Best of Luck winning the $5 million Chiver-dude.

I hope you rage-f*cked #7 and #20 by the way.

The_Stif

hahaha, who even thinks of that to say? Funny shit.

chicago

Me.
I'm still laughing…

Floriduh

shit is funny

Oddly comforting that you can still contact John and get ahold of him. I was having issues uploading the photo to the chive and wrote some email cursing like you do when you think nobody is going to answer. John wrote me back in 10 minutes, not some Indian from customer support (nothing against India or their amazing food)

Orien

Not that Indian customer service couldn't be pulling a "this is Peggy"…

kw1q51lv3r

Is that you, Josh? You make me feel like I might as well shut up and learn sweep-picking.

Steve

3:13 to 3:15…..Find Her!

Jason

The blonde sitting behind the judges looks pretty smoking hot too!

jrey81

He's got my vote… and hopefully he coaxed #7 & #24 into chivettehood

Nikki

Awesome! You've got my vote. Best of luck to you, Josh!

Lefty8

#4 He just better be glad he isn't facing Rebecca Black in this competition. Good luck man. I'll be watching the show for the first time tonight, so Chive On and kick ass.

Matt

I can't hold back the tears when they cut to his mom backstage while he's singing and she's closing her eyes with her hands out. I'm tearing up just writing about it.

Fan

Damnit, now my eyes are leaking! Awesome job bro… Win it all!

Adam

#7 Ha Ha that's random didn't even know my friend Bridgit was currently working on this show. Man I miss SO CAL I've been stationed up in the bay area for too long. This guy is awesome who takes the time to meet the entire crew best of luck JOSH.

Justin T.

Dude if you actually know her then tell her to send in some pics for sexy chivers.

Woody

Doubtful he knows her, or any woman for that matter….

stabbyjake

#7 – Who else wants to see her in a post on Friday????

https://www.facebook.com/jason.ciotti Jason Ciotti

Today wouldn't have been bad either…it is Hump Day…BYB is also acceptable.

0_0

YES!

hMMMM

I'd rather see #20

SenatorBurns!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dirty Dougie

MOAR!! lol

DSB

MF'n awesome!

Lowrent75

Fantastic. Good luck.

Josh

Chiving may have helped this dude go far on the show.

Hunter X

I just hope that the Chive doesn't get used for 'evil'. The power of the Chive has been proven, and I'd hate for the Chive and Chivers to be fooled into supporting a fraud one day…from someone willing to take advantage of kind hearts and the awesome power we wield…

the truth

get a life.

lovebeingachivette

holy hell that guy in #18 is just my type, put him in my mouth please! lol…chive on josh!
